..For a time some years ago the OWC (other world computing) company

showed more than one means to calibrate a portable Mac battery onsite.


Here's a link to page that shows/tells process for older version of calibration.

NewerTech - Older Portable Mac Battery Calibration Instructions:

https://eshop.macsales.com/Reviews/Framework.cfm?page=hardwareandnews/newerbatteries/newerbatteryconditioning.html


These instructions worked OK, with certain known issues back in the day

and their suggestion (for early newertech battery used in older portables)

was to be repeated at some point. Later instructions avoided this aspect.


The battery you received might or might not be suited for use now; date

of manufacture being two+ years, could be an issue. ~ These might not

honor an old guarantee; most genuine batteries included 1-year warranty.

Makers of Chinese batteries are unlikely imports from outside CH regions.


A PDF for Battery Conditioning for older design Mac batteries shows more:

https://eshop.macsales.com/Tech/manuals/newertech/batteries/batteryconditioning_r1w.pdf


Instructions within this PDF points to helpful further instruction with

extra additional information/links from portal, how to Reset the SMC.

Reset the SMC of your Mac - Apple Support

NewerTech's PDF has instructions now lacking from other official sources.

Those might be place to start, after you determine battery warranty status.

[Original batteries changed over time, latest versions are 'internal' access.]

..These instructions could be useful, should the battery appear dead..

Hello babowa

Thank you very much for your reply. Yes, the battery arrived in the post yesterday. Until now, the Macbook Pro had exactly the same battery in it as this one from LMP. That's why I don't understand why it's not working now. The product descriptions clearly state the same type of MacBook Pro 17".

Thank you very much for your link with the more powerful battery. I have already read that if the MacBook doesn't get the power it needs, it won't charge. It has 103 watts...

Then I'll send the battery back and buy yours.

Thank you very much and a nice evening greeting from Switzerland.
